Sometimes returning home is more difficult than leaving. Between the couch of my parents´ place, my luggage still unpacked after three months and oh so many loose ends in my hometown, which were left untied for quite a while this summer was not necessarily an emotional walk in the park. But even though I am still very much homesick for Sweden and do miss my friends, having my own place and the pretty builders outside my apartment a lot, this was a nice summer. I managed to fulfill a variety of birthday wishes (21 for my 21st year) and visited a lot of my friends, thereby getting to know a lot of great new places, such as Münster, Madrid and Paris and even more great new people. I went to two festivals and while working for one of them continued to work on my journalist dreams. This summer was an emotional rollercoaster ride, but I got rid of a lot of hard feelings, needless furniture, clothes and worries and can now start into my internship with a clear head and at least a bit clearer heart (because when is a heart really all cleared up?). I worked my butt of this summer, working at least 5 days every week in two jobs and even though I am very sad my wanderlust only got satisfied for a mere 8 days, I know all this work will hopefully result in some nice trips in the future. Great things are ahead, from working in a job that actually could be something I would like to do in the future (even though I love waitressing it tires your feet A LOT), staying close to some of my friends here in Germany and of course after years of dreaming of it moving to England to do my erasmus in january. A lot of people do not understand my erratic lifestyle, but just the thought of experiencing so many new things gets me all giddy inside. Seeing this blog finally getting the attention and work it deserves also makes me happy and I am excited to see if you like what I have worked on the last weeks.

Another new start, another cleaner cut from home. Maybe it´s true what everyone was saying and I am in fact finally growing up.

The wonderful Hurricane and beautiful Paris...

... followed by a great reunion and me falling head over heels in love with Madrid!

The Dockville with german and swedish friends was the perfect completion of this summer

Of course I watched football and was happy to have such great people around me to share joy with. I also felt how great it is to have pets around at all times.

Old memories (like these diaries) were found and new ones were made with.
